DIY Painted Coasters

This Tutorial Provides a Clever Way to Celebrate the Return of Spring

— February 29, 2016 — Art & Design
'Bustle' recently put together a tutorial for making painted coasters that celebrate the return of spring. Although the official start of spring is still a few weeks away, this tutorial provides the perfect way to get a head start on the season.

The tutorial for making painted coasters is not only easy to follow, but it is also budget-friendly. To begin, users will need several plain cork coasters, a thin paint brush and white and yellow acrylic paint. With the paintbrush, users can directly add yellow and white spots that mimic the appearance of delicate daisies. Because the coasters are intended to look a bit offbeat, the project is very forgiving.

The simple DIY coasters fall in line with the shift towards make-it-yourself projects and the desire for greater personalization.
